Considering that Ezra is constantly assaulting women, it sure looks like Ezra is faking the “they” thing to cover for Ezra’s toxic misogyny (and make people write grammatically tortured sentences).

Rights can be revoked.

If you need to check wikipedia or ask the person what pronoun to use in order to avoid violating their rights, it probably isn’t a right.

What do you mean? Let’s not get carried away. It’s not a right. It’s a courtesy. Nothing more. Let’s not water down the concept of rights to such a minor level. Rights are legal ideas. Nowhere is there a statute or Constitutional provision which has anything to do with pronouns to be used between private citizens. 

BUhhhh why do you use “they” to refer to a singular person! I’m so confused! I can’t figure out a single thing in this article! Is it even in English?! 

verbal violence (and jokes in poor taste) will never justify physical violence

I really love the people who are saying that alopecia counts as a disability so this joke was some kind of hate crime. 

bro shut the fuck up. alopecia isn’t fatal and hers isn’t even that bad. She also has more than enough millions for treatment AND the best wigs money can buy.

It’s fine. After all Will Smith loved the joke until his wife told him otherwise

Smith should have been kicked out of the building immediately.

“sick”

Jesus. Cry me a river.

SO edgy, SO shocking, to make a joke about someone with alopecia.  Oh wait...alopecia is the main cause of hair loss for people across the globe...and dudes get made fun of it all day every day and nobody gives a shit...and its not an illness...  Is it mean?  Sure.  Does it warrant *literally assaulting someone*?  No,…

“Congrats people, movies cost more now. FFS it’s yet another Batman movie, which is fine, I want to see it, but I’ll wait until it’s free on a streaming service.”

I feel like you are on the precipice of a realization here.

I don’t think there is any actual evidence that dwarfs or pixies for example were inspired by people with genetic conditions. The reality is that believing in spirits is probably as old as humanity, and believing that small spirits of various types live in the trees, mountains, or under the ground in tunnels and caves…

I can’t wait to hear all the new songs like “Whistle While You Protest For Fair Labor Practices”...

Man articles like this really are such a problem in culture. I just listened to the podcast and this exchange as reported struck me:

I can’t wait to hear all the new songs like “Whistle While You Protest For Fair Labor Practices” and “Someday My Prince Will Rob Me Of My Agency.”

Seriously, time for Grohl and Novoselic to counter-sue for defamation and start bleeding this guy dry financially. “Oh, NOW you want to drop the suit? Too late, motherfucker!”

This whole thing was already stupid and kind of ugly, but now Elden is making insinuations about the sexual tendencies of a man who’s dead and can’t defend himself, on the (incredibly shaky) basis of a private diary entry and it’s just gone in a whole new direction of sleazy. Fuck this guy.
